Month of the Military Child: Step by step By 2nd Lt.Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
I have always been competing with my father. Let me clarify. By competing, I have always been setting expectations for myself based on the accomplishments my father has done in his lifetime. Some people may think this is an odd ambition, especially because I am a girl. A lot of people have even told me I’m odd for even trying to compare myself to him, because “what’s the point?” How does a small-in-stature Army brat who joined the Air Force through ROTC compare herself to an E-1 to O-6 Army Ranger who also happened to have served as a SWAT team leader (among other things) in the FBI? Did I mention he’s been juggling both careers for more than 20 years? I don’t know if there is a way to compare the two of us, really. There probably won’t be until I’m a lot older. However, since I was old enough to think ‘this guy is a super-human,’ my goal has been to surpass him. See Military page 3

“One day, the sun will set on my time and rise with you as the new king.” — Mufasa, “The Lion King” Most Disney fans are familiar with the “circle of life” theme from “The Lion King.” While the film’s theme revolves around life and death, many life aspects tend to come full circle. People often find themselves in
the positions of people they once admired. Such is the case for 2nd Lt. Amy Gillilan, 50th Space Wing Program Management Directorate, who, after a long enlisted career, now finds herself in the position to mentor young Airmen. Just as her mentors helped her. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my mentors,” she said. “Your job ethic gets you a long way in life, and how hard you work
is going to get you a long way, but having people guide you is essential.” Gillilan’s career mentorship began before enlistment as her father steered her towards an Air Force career. Even though he retired from the Army, he knew the Air Force would be a better decision for her. “He guided me to the world’s greatest Air See Full Circle page 7

Schriever AFSA chapter looks to make a difference By Staff Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
“Speak now or forever hold your peace.” The premise of this traditional marriage vow verbiage is anyone who wants to change the outcome of what’s about to happen, must do it at the prescribed time or lose out on the opportunity. The marriage of the Air Force Sergeants Association and the Air Force dates back to 1961 and gives Airmen a direct voice to congressional leaders to impact change within the service. Their mission is to advocate improved quality of life and economic fairness that will support the well-being of the Total Air Force enlisted personnel and their families. At Schriever, enter AFSA Chapter 1182. “First, it’s important to educate people on what AFSA is,” said Master Sgt. Brady Warren, AFSA Chapter 1182 president. “Until I became a member, I had no idea how important it was to Air Force members. It’s one of the more important agencies in terms of the ability to affect decisions made at the congressional level. We want to let people know what AFSA is about and what we can do for them.” AFSA advocates for its 100,000 members’ interests to America’s elected and military leaders. As a federally-chartered Veteran Service Organization, AFSA is able to lobby on Capitol Hill on behalf of its members. “Not every professional military organization can say they’re federally chartered and have a voice on Capitol Hill,” Warren said. “In my opinion, AFSA is the most important organization people can get involved with in terms of af-

fecting outcomes at the congressional level.” Chapter 1182 holds monthly meetings, which are designed to be a platform for members to bring issues or concerns up to the executive council. The council can then bring those concerns up to the division level and vote on which issues the organization lobbies to congress. Schriever’s AFSA chapter currently sits 180 strong, giving it a strong voice at higher levels, but they are always looking for more. “We want to double our membership number,” Warren said. “The more members we have, the more votes we get. This is crucial to affecting change.” Chapter 1182 will conduct fun-filled fundraisers and membership drives throughout the year and encourages people to get involved. Tech. Sgt. Sara Bishop, AFSA Chapter 1182 membership trustee, hinted there would be many opportunities for people to have fun while also contributing to the Air Force and local community in a serious way. She plans on organizing golf tournaments, pizza bonanzas and much more. “The most important benefit of being an AFSA member is helping to uphold fair and equitable legislation and departmental policies that affect the Air Force’s enlisted personnel,” Bishop said. “We are the voice of the Air Force. We are the enlisted force working and living the life every day. It’s up to us to make a difference and make change.” AFSA also stresses community involvement as a way of giving back and investing in the local community. “We’re not just looking out for ourselves,” Warren said. “We get involved in the community in a massive way. We are putting on different events where we can raise money
and give back to the community.” Becoming an AFSA member is a quick, online registration process at www.hqafsa.org. According to the website, benefits include: congressional lobbying, global impact through leadership, connections with friends, continuing education and scholarships, mentorship opportunities, life insurance, financial investment support and a wide range of special discounted services. Enlisted members, officers, retired personnel, family members and civilians are all eligible to join. “There is a small annual fee to join, but it comes out to about $3 a month, which is well worth it in my opinion,” Warren said. While membership provides many benefits to the members and the chapter, it is not required to participate in Chapter 1182 meetings or activities. “We know sometimes people have financial difficulties, but don’t let that stop you from making a difference,” Warren said. “Just show up. We can show you how to get involved. The bigger our group is, the more people we can affect. Anybody can come sit in the meetings and have input.” Chapter 1182 recently underwent its annual leadership change and as such is formulating its activities and events plan for the year. Warren encouraged people to come to meetings to have a say in what is done. He also advised people to be on the lookout for announcements in the Schriever Sentinel. To be added to the Chapter 1182 email distribution list, please email 50og.cck.workflow@us.af.mil. The next meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. April 25 at in Building 300, third floor conference room.
Last week’s question and answer: This pilot had eight MiG victories in the Korean War. In 1953, he was assigned to the 50th Fighter-Bomber Wing, 81st Fighter-Bomber Squadron, and played a primary role in moving the wing’s F-86 aircraft to Hahn Air Base, Germany. Later he led the 67th Tactical Fighter Squadron in combat operations in Vietnam. He was shot down in his F-105D Thunderchief and spent seven years as a prisoner of war. He is one of only four Airmen to receive multiple awards of the Air Force Cross. Who was this pilot? He is Brig. Gen. James Robinson Risner. This week’s question: What Air Force pilot, later assigned to the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hahn Air Base, Germany, received the Medal of Honor on January 19, 1967 for action in the A Shau Valley, Vietnam, on March 10, 1966?

5/6 Council builds better NCOs By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
For Schriever junior NCOs looking to fine-tune their leadership and supervisory skills, as well as seeking out volunteer opportunities, the 5/6 Council is a professional development organization worthy of attending. “The 5/6 Council is a private organization that is here to provide peer to peer mentoring and professional development for staff sergeant selects, staff sergeants and technical sergeants,” said Tech. Sgt. Danielle Staiger, 5/6 Council president. Similar to other PDOs such as the Airman’s Council, the 5/6 Council assists in developing and building upon the roles associated with member’s ranks. The difference is, as NCOs, a core focus of the council is to train members to become better supervisors for their Airmen. “Benefits for those that attend are being able to network with other NCOs from across the base, share supervisory expe-
rience and discuss issues, concerns and upcoming events,” said Staiger. “The 5/6 Council is always looking for feedback on how we can better serve the NCO tier.” On top of networking and sharing experiences, the council host’s professional development classes, which dive deeper into how to be better at junior NCO functions. “If you need to write Enlisted Personnel Reports or 1206’s better and work on other NCO-centric tasks, we can help you with it,” said Tech. Sgt. Samuel Norris, 5/6 Council vice president. “So if a class is on bullet writing, and that’s what you need help in, we’ll offer that class to you.” The council is part of a down flowing chain of wisdom shared between 5/6, the Top III and Airman’s Councils. Each represents a different part of the enlisted structure. The Top III Council, consisting of senior NCOs, sends representatives to mentor 5/6 and Airman’s Council meetings, while the 5/6 sends representatives to Airman’s Council meetings.

In addition to helping other PDOs, the 5/6 Council organizes several events throughout the base to help the community. “The council is involved with base promotion ceremonies, staff sergeant and technical sergeant release parties, first term Airmen center handoffs and we also donate to various events that happen on base,” said Staiger. “We are currently looking at opportunities to get more involved with the base as well as the local community.” The key to taking full advantage of the wealth of benefits the 5/6 Council offers is participation, said Norris. “You need to be willing to participate in 5/6, the things that any one of these organizations offer are only out there if people are willing to take advantage of it,” said Norris. “So if you are coming to the meetings and you are willing to participate and be part of this great organization, you’ve got a room full of people willing to help you.” To find out more about the 5/6 Council contact Norris at 567-3290.

Full Circle From page 1 Force,” Gillilan said. Initially assigned as a command post controller at Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina, in 2003, Gillilan soon went from flight following from behind closed doors to actually witnessing the mission as she deployed to Kuwait in 2004 with Operation Iraqi Freedom. The deployment left a lasting impression. “It’s a very humbling experience to be on a flightline during 9/11 (remembrance ceremonies),” she said through tears. “It’s tough to be there and humbling, (but) what an honoring experience.” Following a second deployment to Iraq in 2006, Gillilan returned to Charleston facing a career crossroads. She had to choose between becoming a loadmaster or a flight attendant. Again relying on advice from her mentors, Gillilan chose the flight attendant path. “The mentorship at Charleston was essential in guiding me to an aviation career,” she said. This choice would set her on a path leading all the way to Air Force One. The road wasn’t easy. The flight attendant selection process itself is a rigorous, weeklong process. Candidates spend the week in Washington, D.C., attending events, learning the mission, visiting aircraft, and preparing and cooking a meal. Finally, candidates sit before a board that will determine final selections. “They want to see how you interact with others, work on a team and your ability to work in the culinary arts,” Gillilan said.
F R E E
“I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my mentors,” she said. “Your job ethic gets you a long way in life, and how hard you work is going to get you a long way, but having people guide you is essential.” Upon selection, she began as a flight attendant serving representatives and senators. After three years, she decided to apply for a position with the presidential team. Once selected, Gillilan went through an advanced culinary school. The joint school at Fort Lee, Virginia, is part culinary school and part basic training. The instructors sharpen students by creating stressful situations. The goal is to ensure students are ready to face any circumstance with calm. “It allows you to react when you’re on the airplane in a stressful situation,” Gillilan said. “Once the wheels are up you can’t change any previous decision you made. If you brought it, you brought it. If you forgot it, you better learn how to recover from it.” Gillilan joined the presidential team in 2012, during President Obama’s re-election campaign. She spent four years serving aboard Air Force One, beginning by serving drinks and working her way up to the forward galley cook. The forward galley cook is responsible for planning and preparing the president’s meals. To say the position comes with a fair amount of pressure would be an understatement. “Perfection is the standard because you’re
serving the president of the United States,” Gillilan said. “That’s a huge weight to carry.” While carrying that weight, Gillilan continued working toward her degree in management. She took advantage of any opportunity to complete her coursework, even giving up a chance to visit the Vatican. “We were sitting in Rome and a majority of the team went to the Vatican,” she said. “There were four people left behind. We were sitting downstairs at this hotel, drinking cappuccinos and every one of us was pumping out papers.” Gillilan met one of her mentors in August 2013 during a stop at Martha’s Vineyard. Lt. Col. Carl Miller, 12th Flying/Training Wing Inspector General, was working as part of the advance team handling logistics for the presidential crew members. Miller soon discovered one of Gillilan’s career goals was to become an officer. “We talked about timelines, applications and what it would take to get (to officer training school),” Miller said. “I provided advice, answered questions and did anything I could to help her through the process.” After two unsuccessful applications to officer training school, she thought being an officer wasn’t in the cards for her. Miller and
other mentors provided the encouragement and guidance to try one more time. “March 12, 2016, I had my last flight on Air Force One. The commander brought me a set of lieutenant bars before we took off,” she said, again fighting the moment’s emotion. Now as a new lieutenant, Gillilan is learning how to be an officer, but she knows she’s in a place where she can draw on her 13 years as an enlisted member to help young Airmen at Schriever. “I know I didn’t put on lieutenant bars because I was amazing,” she said. “I had people looking out for me. In turn, I feel like that’s my gift back to the Air Force. How can I help Airmen?” Gillilan often speaks during First Term Airmen Center classes, offering advice and guidance for young Airmen looking for opportunities. She knows without guidance from her mentors, she might never have been able to take advantage of the opportunities the Air Force offers. Miller knows the depth and breadth of experience Gillilan has can benefit those looking for guidance, but it’s her personality that will make her a good mentor. “She has empathy for people, wants to inspire people and help people,” he said. “She has a strong sense of duty and wants to pay (mentorship) forward.” “I would never have had any of these opportunities if somebody hadn’t told me about them,” Gillilan said. The sun, it certainly appears, has risen on Gillilan’s time as mentor. Miller hopes Gillilan’s passion for the Air Force spreads to the Airmen she mentors. “She believes in what she does, is all-in and loves the Air Force,” he said. “When you get someone who is really passionate about what they do, that kind of attitude is contagious.”

Why I wear the uniform By Airman 1st Class Rodolfo Mendoza 50th Space Communications Squadron
U.S. Air Force illustration/ Staff Sergeant Wes Wright
One of the reasons I am here today has to do with my parents. Let me start by saying that my parents are from El Salvador, a country located in Central America. My mother was from a small, poor town and my father was from the main city of San Salvador. Between 1980 and 1992, there was a huge civil war between the people of El Salvador and its government. This war violated all human rights, from recruiting child soldiers to killing and raping innocent people, most of which was done by El Salvador’s military. At the age of 20-years-old, my parents decided to make a life changing decision and flee the country to save themselves in order to create a better life. Not knowing anyone, they came to the United States. Even though my parents were not able to speak the language, they managed to establish themselves and start a life. It was a rocky start for both of them, but they fought hard to become citizens of the United States. They are the hardest working people I know to this day. My mother is a surgical technician in one of the biggest hospitals in Los Angeles. My father worked for Toyota for 20 plus years and counting. This country gave them a second chance at life and this is the reason I wear the uniform that defends this great nation. Furthermore, the Air Force has countless opportunities to offer. I decided to serve to thank this country, establish my career, as well as better myself. I am grateful I made the decision to join and I will do everything in my power to be as successful as I can be. Who knows, I might not have been born if my parents had not made the choice to flee El Salvador.

Mt. Everest one rung at a time By Staff Sgt. Matthew Coleman-Foster 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
You are climbing to a peak. It is forever away from you, yet still you climb. Oxygen escapes you, as you chase it. Fatigue embraces you, you ignore it. You are not climbing a mountain, you are climbing a never-ending ladder; your goal being 29,029 feet, the same height as Mt. Everest. The Schriever Air Force Base fitness center held a Mt. Everest challenge for the entire month of March. Individuals who took on the challenge had to climb the 29,029 feet on Jacob’s Ladder, a climbing cardio machine, without using the handrails. Ryan Bosso, 50th Force Support Squadron fitness center recreation aid, was one of only four people able to complete it by months end. Seth Cannello, Schriever Fitness Center director, also completed the challenge and said he started the challenge for a myriad of reasons. “First, the Jacob’s Ladder is under-utilized, because it’s hard. Second, I had a customer ask me to create an event centered around the Jacob’s Ladder a few months ago. Finally, I started doing the Jacob’s Ladder and set a goal of 5,280 feet in under an hour,” said Cannello. Bosso said his reason for taking up the Mt. Everest challenge was because he saw the challenge and had never exercised on a Jacob’s Ladder before, so he wanted to see if he could do it. “It’s my favorite machine to use; I don’t understand why a lot of people don’t use it, but I love it and I don’t think it is that hard,” said Bosso. Only 12 individuals were up to the task of climbing to such great heights, with some starting March 1 and others starting a little later in the month. “I started it the second week. I wanted to try and see if I could get myself to do it,” said Bosso. “The first time I did about 100 feet. It was hard, but I kept going to see if I could do it.” Because of his perseverance, even though he started late, Bosso finished the challenge within the time constraints. Bosso did his Jacob’s Ladder sessions during his work week, averaging 1,500 to 2,000 feet per session. “There were some days I did more than that, for instance,
Couresty photo
the last day I did about 3,300 feet, just to finish it. My goal once I started, was to finish the challenge before the end of the month and I was able to do that,” said Bosso with a huge grin. Bosso had another goal he wanted to accomplish during the challenge. “Towards the end, I wanted to see what I could do in an hour; I could never get it to an hour, but my last day I needed that 3,300 feet. It took me about 50 minutes,” said Bosso. Cannello is currently the only individual to complete the
1-mile challenge in under 60 minutes (56:01) on the Jacob’s Ladder and said he is still waiting to see if anyone else can best him on the ladder. The Mt. Everest challenge is still open to individuals who feel up to the task. “This event is a great challenge and I’ve decided to continue the event throughout the year. Anyone who wants to register can do so at any time. They will have 31 days to complete the event regardless of when they register,” said Canello. For more information, contact Cannello at 567-6658.

310th Space Wing honors heritage at 19th Annual Awards Banquet By Senior Airman Laura Turner 310th Space Wing Public Affairs
310th Space Wing members, joined by their family and friends, came together to celebrate the 2016 Annual Award nominees Saturday evening at the Antlers Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs. With a heritage dating all the way back to the Doolittle Raid of World War II, the evening was packed with historical memorabilia and stories of legends past and present. Col. Traci Kueker-Murphy, 310th Space Wing commander, introduced the guest speaker at the event as the ‘Founding Father of Space’ in the Air Force Reserve. “This was a gentleman who, sometime back before 1993, had the idea that the Reserves could do space,” said Kueker-Murphy. “He talked to other folks who had similar ideas and they said ‘You know, we can do this. We can actually do a Reserve unit in space. We can start something new.’ It was an innovative idea.” The guest speaker, retired Maj. Gen. Frank Casserino, United States Air Force Reserve, spoke about his experience as the first Air Force Reserve space commander and the founding of the 7th Space Operations Squadron. He then went on to mentor individuals within the wing, giving them ideas on how to be successful in their units and careers. “Don’t be afraid to fail,” said Casserino. “Take care of your people; moving obstacles, providing resources, rewarding them and knowing them and their families.” 310th Bombardment alumni, Lieutenant Ernest “Ernie” George LaCroix, Jr., Lieutenant Bernard “Bernie” Peters and Corporal Marion Hall showed their support as guests of the event. Kueker-Murphy provided the alumni and their families tokens of appreciation and thanked them for their continued support of the 310th Space Wing’s mission.

Aerobics Classes Taught by Fitness Center Staff The Fitness Center Staff will be teaching Aerobics Classes through May 31. For a schedule of the classes offered, visit the Fitness Center or call 567-6628. Classes offered are: • Functional Fitness — trains your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability. • Group Exercise — is typically described as exercise performed by a group of individuals led by an instructor. A variety of group exercise formats exist, including (but not limited to) aerobics and dance choreographed to music, BOSU, core conditioning, pilates, yoga, and muscle conditioning. Group exercise offers a variety of benefits you might miss out on if you choose to work out on your own. Some of the benefits include exposure to a social and fun environment, a safe and effectively designed workout. • Boot Camp — results driven and energetic fitness and fat loss workout program that includes motivation, accountability and dynamic resistance training; all designed to get you the body that you want in a safe, fun and non-intimidating atmosphere. • Cycle Fitness — creates a work out that is deeply engaging and energizing on an indoor bicycle. This program is physically efficient and challenging, mentally uplifting, and most importantly, fun. • Kettlebells — A kettlebell is a solid metal heavy ball with an offset handle just large enough to place your hand through and is one of the most effective versatile pieces of equipment you can use during a workout. Kettlebell training has plenty of benefits — namely strength gains, performance increases, and fat loss. When used correctly a kettlebell improves your joint stability as well as the joints mobility.
